Hey,

I've decided to get a two foot cube. Custom vebas tank, 3 sides low iron one side normal.
It's currently sitting in the corner,
Plans are to simply work plants around the driftwood feature to compliment the hardscape.
Not 100% sure on where it's going to take me, but I have a rough idea and guide to follow which you'll see slowly come together over the next few weeks. but we all know aquascapes rarely go to plan 100% haha.

Equipment so far.

Kessil a150
2.4kg co2 bottle
Up aqua dual gauge reg and solenoid
Ebay cheapy diffuser, although will be buying a reactor instead.
Ebay 1400ltr/h uv canister filter

Equipment I need in the near future.

Co2 Reactor
Kessil gooseneck, could make one but would rather the right thing
Heater
Cooling fan
Drop checker/timer or ph controller
Few other bits n pieces I'm sure....

I'm not too savvy with this journal stuff, so any question ask away please. :

Almost ready to fill, who's got some plants for me?
Looking for red stems, ferns, mosses and carpeting plants such as glosso or possibly hc?
Also wanting Hydrocotyle tripartita or similar

Just filled it then so it's still murky.

For the ground cover I settled for glosso. Crypts and blyxa near the wood and a few swords and polysperma down the sides.
I left blank spots on the corners and the very back because I'm unsure on what to put there.
Any suggestions please let me know!
Cheers
